In the suffocating shadows of A House of Invertebrates, a lone woman defies annihilation. This latest release from Amputation Theory channels the crushing isolation and razor-sharp defiance of a protagonist trapped in a household of venom and malice. The family around her—cruel, parasitic, and relentless—devours all but her will to survive. A harrowing journey of survival and feminist power, where resilience and transformation rise from the wreckage of oppression.

The sound is an unrelenting fusion of Americanoise brutality and the razor-edge precision of contemporary harsh noise. Swells of looping synths crash against walls of distortion, punctuated by piercing frequencies that mirror her moments of resistance and clarity. The relentless cacophony becomes her inner monologue, a raw and unfiltered scream against suffocation. Shrieking tones clash with guttural distortion, mirroring her descent into darkness and her clawing ascent toward freedom. Moments of chaos give way to sharp, crystalline tones—echoes of her defiance and the weaponization of her pain.

Track by track, A House of Invertebrates drags the listener into her world. Crawling through darkness, swallowing shards of herself to survive, she becomes something other—a new creature born from pain, yet sharper, harder, more dangerous. It is a sonic manifesto of survival, a brutal yet empowering testament to the radical strength of a woman reclaiming her life. A contemporary zeitgeist.

Released on limited-edition cassette with artwork evoking the grotesque beauty of her world, this is more than a harsh noise record. It’s a tale of survival, a document of transformation, and an anthem for anyone who’s clawed their way out of the unthinkable. Limited-edition T-shirt also available.
